I thought I saw an 'amusing' tag for this story so I was thinking "ok, this really pathetic long-running 'let's make jokes marginalizing Canada because of their really small (in comparison) population and super cold weather' is getting goddamn old if you're laughing at them for having 'small' killing sprees".

But then I realized it was an 'asinine' tag, and now I don't know what to believe anymore so I'm just going to eat an entire brick of cheese and listen to Echo and the Bunnymen.

This is pretty terrifying. I mean, my friends were at parties all along that area; I'd bet at least some of them were at that party at some point in the day. I'm glad we were all at Cowboys by that point instead of party surfing. Pretty sobering to think that while I was celebrating BSD, getting drunk, and dancing away the night, some poor kids were getting stabbed while probably trying to do the same.

It was the last day of classes at the university for the year, known as BSD(Bermuda Shorts Day). In my day, the drinking started at 6:00am. By 1:20am we would be lucky to be walking, let alone capable of stopping someone from getting all staby. Since it sounds like they were all in Uni, I'd suspect that's why they were easy targets.

News reports are that people tried to subdue him, but were unsuccessful (My bet being because they were drunk, and he wasn't, as he had just gotten to the party from working at a supermarket)

Bf+:"None of the victims, nor the suspect, have any past history with police, said Hanson. "

"The man suspected of fatally stabbing five people in their 20s at a northwest Calgary house party is the son of a veteran police officer, according to the chief of police. "

Unless you're new to English, it's frankly impossible for me to imagine anyone having any difficulty understanding what he said.

wildcardjack:You probably can't find more than five people in one place in Calgary.

Populationwise or densitywise?

a) I can forgive your rather outdated knowledge of anything outside your own house, because Texas, but you might be surprised to learn that Calgary passed a population of 5 at some indeterminate time prior to 1884.

b) Good effort, but could have used another sentence or so to get the point across.
